An Uncommon Vocabulary

By: Jim Boyd Jr.

Narrated by: Angelina Will

There are two activities in life that are essential to one's happiness. The first is to have one's day (to explore, engage, and enjoy life), and the second is to say one's say (to say the words to oneself and/or others that are worth saying).

An Uncommon Vocabulary is an exercise in saying one's say. Simply put, it is an A-to-Z book of common words and phrases that are described in ways better suited to them, in the opinion of the author.

The concepts described herein are working definitions, definitions that can be brought to mind to facilitate one's thinking and actions within particular circumstances.

When a working definition is properly occasioned (brought to mind at the appropriate time and in the appropriate circumstances), advantageous effects flow from it. In this way one's personal narrative (thinking vocabulary) is made richer and more rewarding, and one becomes more coherent and positive in dealing with everyday events.

A thoughtful exploration of the "real" meanings of words and phrases - Highly recommended for those seeking open-mindedness and well-founded beliefs - An excellent narration by Angelina Will

good but not what I expected

makes u look at words and quotes in a whole different way, but just not the book for me. sorry.

It would be better as Whispersync

A sequential presentation of words and phrases with interpretations as indicated. An excellent resource for readers and authors alike, as well as useful for those involved in public speaking. See publisher's blurb.
Ms Will did an excellent job of keeping it from being a boring exercise, but it would be better as Whispersync.

Words and Phrases defined in a different way.

Would you consider the audio edition of An Uncommon Vocabulary to be better than the print version?

I haven't read a print or electronic version. I might suggest it would be helpful to have such a visual in front of you.

What was one of the most memorable moments of An Uncommon Vocabulary?

At some point within a few minutes there's a ahh hah I get it now moment.

Which character – as performed by Angelina Will – was your favorite?

This is an idea, thinking book. I didn't perceive a definitive "character". The narration was upbeat and did make for an enjoyable listen

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It's short and entertaining. Personally, I was able to listen in one session.

Any additional comments?

Thought provoking. Entertaining narration.
